When mirroring a remote site the remote site could use filename-constructions like " .." that would case mirror to work one level above the target directory for the mirrored files. This has been fixed in mirror version 2.9-2.1 . We recommend you upgrade your mirror package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink - -------------------------------- This version of Debian was released only for Intel, the Motorola 680x0, the alpha and the Sun sparc architecture.
